Bobiverse Series Reaches Book Six With The Infinite Extent

Dennis E. Taylor's long-running science fiction series has reached its sixth installment. According to his Wikipedia page, The Infinite Extent was released as an audiobook in September 2026, with text editions scheduled to follow in January 2027.

The audiobook arrived on September 10, 2026, as confirmed by vinitnair.com's complete Bobiverse reading guide, which notes the title is narrated by Ray Porter — the same narrator who has voiced the series from its debut.

The series that became the Bobiverse began under unlikely circumstances. Taylor's Wikipedia page recounts that his agent struggled to find a traditional publisher for We Are Legion (We Are Bob), eventually securing an audiobook deal through Audible — a format that would define the franchise's identity.

That first audiobook, also narrated by Porter, was named Audible's 2016 Best Science Fiction Audiobook of the Year, according to Wikipedia. The recognition established Taylor as a major voice in hard science fiction and set the stage for everything that followed.

Taylor, a Canadian author and former computer programmer, brings professional fluency to the series' themes of artificial intelligence, space exploration, and the future of humanity, as his Wikipedia profile describes. That background in corporate IT departments gives the writing a distinctive, grounded credibility.

The series has maintained a consistent release rhythm of roughly two years between major entries. Book five, Not Till We Are Lost, arrived in September 2024, per Wikipedia, making The Infinite Extent a nearly two-year wait for readers.

Readers following the series closely will note that this is not the final chapter. A review at fanfiaddict.com notes that, according to Taylor himself, there is one more book planned in the main series, meaning The Infinite Extent is the penultimate entry.

That same review describes the series as "a real treat for old-school science fiction fans" with homages to classic genre traditions — context that positions the Bobiverse as a deliberate love letter to science fiction's foundational era rather than a mainstream crossover property.

The series also carries screen adaptation potential. Taylor's Wikipedia page references a connection to Lord Miller Productions, the company behind acclaimed projects including The Lego Movie and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, though no production details are specified.

The audiobook-first release strategy for The Infinite Extent mirrors exactly how the franchise launched — a deliberate echo of the format that made Taylor's name. With Ray Porter returning as narrator, the continuity of that audio experience remains intact across all six books.

Readers new to the universe can find the entry point in We Are Legion (We Are Bob), the first Bobiverse novel, which establishes Taylor's signature blend of hard science fiction, humor, and AI-driven storytelling that has sustained the series across a decade.
